Ejiro Evero is facing challenges as the Panthers defensive coordinator. His interview requests have been denied for positions with the Giants and Dolphins. Carolina has shown a pattern of preventing Evero from making lateral moves, as they did previously with the Jaguars. It’s unclear if Evero will remain in Carolina or pursue other opportunities as a defensive coordinator for other teams.

Despite his limited experience as a coordinator, Evero’s success with the Broncos and Panthers has put him on the radar for head coaching positions. He has been linked to potential opportunities with the Seahawks, Rams, and Packers. With the Panthers hiring Dave Canales as their head coach, it remains to be seen if they will continue to block Evero from exploring other options.

Both the Dolphins and the Giants are in need of a new defensive coordinator, but for now, Evero will not be part of that process. Miami recently saw Vic Fangio depart, while the Giants moved on from Don Martindale. Both teams are in search of a new voice to lead their defensive units.
